The thing is potato chips already taste good with only salt

[@edim108]

@@christopherstein2024 "it's good at making crap taste good" I object to that. There is a lot more at play than just MSG. MSG makes flavors more pronounced and enhances them, but if something tastes bad without MSG, it will only make it worse. Doritos for example have all kinds of spices and artificial flavorings and MSG helps bring them out so you don't taste the vegetable oil as much... Tried making Doritos approximation at home without MSG and it did taste different, but it was still tasty (in that junk food way of tasty).

I'm a personal Chef and back in college I actually did a research paper on the Sigma of MSG which turns out to be ALL about RACISM! Back in the late '60s and early '70s, NYC Asian restaurants were starting to get more and more popular and sales started getting hirer and hirer. Some or I should say Most of course didn't like it. So secretly Non-Asian restaurant owners took Asian food to laboratories to find out what was in it. It was discovered that a form of salt MSG Monosodium L Glutamate enhanced the flavor of salt and made the food taste more savory. So we know what happens next?? Those Non-Asian restaurants started screaming MSG is bad for you just to make real Asian restaurants suffer. Unfortunately, the bad word of mouth, and also public bashing made sales drop, and made people scared to consume MSG. So Asian restaurants were forced to remove it from their cooking. That's why when you go to some Asian restaurants on the menu in bold lettering NO MSG. This is a shame because now after many years of research they have determined MSG is not harmful, or life-threatening. The scare campaign was actually a HATE campaign! There are many products out on the market that most consumers eat that have always contained MSG but they didn't mention those because they were trying to put Asian restaurants out of business. Today you can find MSG at/in KFC, Chick-fil-A, Campbell's soups, Doritos, Pringles, and a whole lot more!!! I use it in 90% of my cooking especially baking when salt is one of the ingredients. I get RAVE reviews for my Cinnamon Rolls!! Oh, by the way, I got an "A" on my research paper and my professor was originally from Vietnam! 😛❤🔥💋

Wrong. It's all about sodium. The symptoms people complain about the most, are consistent with mild dehydration. If a person isn't used to eating very savory foods (foods with a lot of umami) they may not drink enough fluids to help flush out the excess sodium which can cause symptoms of dehydration. MSG was discovered from kelp in Asia, so it's more heavily used in Asian cuisines, and this would cause cases of mild dehydration. What is it with westerners and their pathological obsession with race? It's such a stupid and unscientific assumption.

When MSG is consumed, our glutamate receptors can become overstimulated and can cause damage to nerve cells or heart cells and so on.

Already covered in the specific case of “ji” but Japanese is actually really easy - everything is a syllable, and everything is spelled in English phonetically, nothing is ever silent. So Ajinomoto is also A-Ji-No-Mo-To, and Nagasaki is Na-Ga-Sa-Ki. It makes more ease when written in Japanese, as the phonetic characters are a consonant+vowel pair, with the occasional lone vowel. Japanese also has a few modifiers, and when you see them you just slur them all together. So Tokyo becomes To-Kyo (slur the k-y-o together), not To-Ki-O (which is how everyone in the US says it). When in doubt, just make sure you pronounce every letter, and if you’re not sure which vowel sounds to use, they’re the same as Spanish vowels.

[@cprn.]

What most people don't understand is that the salty taste in salt is... undesired. The only reason we like it is because it's making natural tastes stronger - they become more detectable to our taste buds. That's why if we had a salt that wasn't salty we would add way more of it. And die due to high amount of sodium in our diet. So can we have salt that isn't salty and has a lower sodium content? Yes, it's called MSG. It's basically a 3x healthier salt that isn't salty. Also, the delicious meaty and savoury thing that covers your whole mouth when you taste raw MSG is... your mouth. Really, that's the taste of the insides of your mouth, you're just so used to it that your brain ignores it until its intensified by MSG.

Jeanne Bee - I’m a nutritionist and medical researcher in the field of nutritional research. This guy is totally mixed up and does not know what he’s talking about. The Glutamic Acid in the body and in plants is totally different from the D-Glutamic Acid synthesized as MSG. To the layman, which he obviously is, they may seem similar because the atoms are just arranged differently, but they act radically different in the brain and body. One is a required “essential” neurotransmitter and related agent, and the other is something we created in a lab that is harmful to various systems in the body, and has actually lead to serious health conditions and even death in humans.

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a flavor enhancer commonly added to Chinese food, canned vegetables, soups and processed meats. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has classified MSG as a food ingredient that's "generally recognized as safe," but its use remains controversial. For this reason, when MSG is added to food, the FDA requires that it be listed on the label. MSG has been used as a food additive for decades. Over the years, the FDA has received many anecdotal reports of adverse reactions to foods containing MSG. These reactions - known as MSG symptom complex - include: Headache Flushing Sweating Facial pressure or tightness Numbness, tingling or burning in the face, neck and other areas Rapid, fluttering heartbeats (heart palpitations) Chest pain Nausea Weakness However, researchers have found no definitive evidence of a link between MSG and these symptoms. Researchers acknowledge, though, that a small percentage of people may have short-term reactions to MSG. Symptoms are usually mild and don't require treatment. The only way to prevent a reaction is to avoid foods containing MSG.
